3 Kookana Rai Dr 2017 CPSS PhD (Soil Physics and Chemistry), MSc (Soil Science), BScAg(Hons ) CSIRO Land and Water McLaughlin Michael Professor 2002 CPSS PhD Soil Chemistry, MAgSc, BSc(Hons) CSIRO University of Adelaide Dr Kookana is a leading soil scientist with a focus on organic contaminants in the environment (soil and water). In particular, he has combined his expertise in soil physics with interests in organic chemistry and toxicology for contaminants in the environment. He has worked >25 y in CSIRO in Adelaide during which he has published hundreds of research papers, supervised and mentored numerous postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows, convened major national and international conferences, and was recently recognised by Soil Science Australia with the award of the 2016 JA Prescott Medal. He has been editor/associate editor of multiple international soil science journals, including Soil Research. He is also a member of many national and international bodies responsible for measuring and setting guidelines on organic contamination and environmental ecotoxicology. Dr Mike McLaughlin was a Chief Research Scientist in the Environmental Biogeochemistry program of CSIRO Land and Water. As well he was Team Leader of the Soil Nutrients and Contaminants Stream in CSIRO's Agricultural Sustainability Flagship. Other roles include: Professor of Soil Science in the School of Agriculture, Food & Wine at University of Adelaide ); one of the five international scientists on the Metals Environmental Research Association's Ecotoxicity Technical Advisory Panel; President of the World Council of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. Dr McLaughlin also manages research related to the Infrared Soil Analysis Service, which uses mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy for the rapid nondestructive analysis of soil physical and chemical properties. Soil organic pollutants, environmental chemistry, land application of organic wastewater Soil management and conservation, Basic and applied research in soil fertilisers, Soil fertility, Biogeochemistry of nutrients and pollutants in soils, Environmental chemistry and toxicology, specifically the assessment and remediation of contaminated soils; Advanced techniques to measure and monitor nutrients and pollutants in the environment rai.kookana@csiro.au Mike.McLaughlin@csiro.au

4 Mosley Luke Dr 2017 CPSS PhD, PhilDipSc, BSc University of Adelaide I am a senior research fellow at the University of Adelaide's Acid Sulfate Soil Centre, a multidisciplinary research group addressing acid sulfate soil issues of national and international significance. I also hold a visiting Scientist position with CSIRO Land and Water where I have strong collaborative links at the Waite Campus. I am interested in understanding and solving complex environmental problems across multidisciplinary boundaries (water, soil, ecology). Recent research focuses on metal and acid-base chemistry of water and soil; acid sulfate soils; impacts of drought and climate change on water and soil quality; biogeochemistry of the River Murray, Lower Lakes and Coorong catchment; development of novel methods and instrumentation to measure ph and metals. Depending on current research activities I am available to work on small or large consulting and contract research projects. Recently I have undertaken consultancies for the EPA of South Australia, Murray- Darling Basin Authority, CSIRO, and Department for Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR).

5 Oliver Danielle Ms 2002 CPSS MAgSc, CSIRO Land BAgSc(Hons and Water ) Ms Danni Oliver develops techniques for analysing organic contaminants in soil and water and management practices. She is a Team leader in the Trace Organics and Risk Assessment research group within the Environmental Biogeochemistry research program of CSIRO. Ms Oliver has extensive experience in organic analytical chemistry, management of off-site transport of pesticides and environmental risk assessment of organic contaminants. She is currently involved in projects studying the processes of off-site transport of pesticides, sediment and nutrients from agricultural environments. Ms Oliver is an environmental chemist with expertise in: organic analytical techniques for soils and water samples, management practices to minimise off-site transport of pesticides into waterways, application of risk assessment tools to assess likelihood of environmental impact of pesticides. Ms Oliver has > 20 y experience in environmental chemistry. In the last 10 y she has focused on organic contaminants, in particular the analysis of organic contaminants in soil and water and the study of the fate, behaviour and transport of organic contaminants in agricultural environments. Ms Oliver is the author of: 24 peer-reviewed journal papers, 3 book chapters, 22 conference papers, 30 reports, including consultancies. She has 223 career citations with 3 papers exceeding 20 citations each.
